Monseñor Saiz insta a la Hermandad de San Roque, en su 125 aniversario, a ser “escuela de fe, casa de fraternidad y taller de caridad”

Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses urged the Brotherhood of San Roque in Seville to act as a school of faith, a house of fraternity, and a workshop of charity during a Mass celebrating the group's 125th anniversary on October 9.

The Archbishop encouraged members to use the anniversary to renew their Christian commitment and pass their faith to younger generations. He noted that the brotherhood was founded in 1901 by a group of young people and the then parish priest, Romualdo Jiménez, with its rules approved the following year by Blessed Cardinal Marcelo Spínola.

During the liturgy, Saiz Meneses expressed gratitude to the former members, governing boards, priests, and families who supported the organization through prayer and work. The Mass was concelebrated by the parish priest of San Roque, José Ángel Martín, and the parochial vicar, Jesús Espinar.
